How It Should Be

Make her feel safe, not suffer fear
Make her smile, not shed a tear
Your hands should never bring her pain
She will not live tied to a chain
Lives should be shared and not controlled
A real man needs not to be told
Tender love is all he should give
So in dread she won’t have to live

Whispers

Your voice resonates in my mind
Softly ringing and unconfined
So many words are still unspoken
Longing for that lock to be broken
To hear all those words that you write
As I see your face in new light
To feel your touch and know you are real
To know you share everything I feel
By the look shining in your eye
And lips releasing that soft sigh
When you pull me close and whisper low
That from my eyes no more tears will flow
You make my heart finally whole
Starting a fire within my soul
